Glenfiddich Malt Master’s Edition Speyside Single Malt [700ML]

Description

What makes a Speyside single malt truly exceptional when it’s been touched by both bourbon and sherry casks?

The Glenfiddich Malt Master’s Edition represents a groundbreaking achievement in double-maturation whisky crafting. This Speyside single malt was the first expression from Glenfiddich to undergo dual cask finishing, initially aged in traditional oak before completing its journey in sherry casks. Each batch is hand-selected by Malt Master Brian Kinsman, ensuring subtle variations that make every bottle unique. For comparison with other exceptional aged expressions, consider the Tomintoul 16 Years Speyside or the Balvenie 14 Years Caribbean Cask.
